Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fit adjustable footwear, and in particular to a shoe of adjustable dimensions.
  • each footwear design is typically produced in an array of standardized sizes, generally identified by a numeral, in order to be worn-on by a large number of wearers having feet of most varied dimensions.
  • the different sizes typically differ in length and width of the sole and insole and therefore, beyond a certain size, also in the dimensions of the vamp fixed to said sole.
  • sizes vary by one or one-half.
  • the technical problem set and solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-highlighted drawbacks.
  • Another important technical problem solved by the invention is to implement footwear whose dimensions may adapt to those of the wearer's feet even for values differing from the usual half size.
  • a further technical problem solved by the invention is to optimally adapt to the shape of the wearer's foot, so as to improve the comfort of fit thereof.
  • Another technical problem solved by the invention is to allow the wearer to autonomously and rapidly adapt the footwear to his or her own specific anatomical needs, without having to resort to a shoemaker's intervention or to specific tools suitable therefor.
  • Last but not least, another technical problem solved thereby is to contrive an invention that be structurally simple and having reasonable manufacturing costs.
  • footwear should be construed in its broadest meaning, encompassing any kind of shoe, sandal, slipper, boot, ankle-boot, etc., both daytime and night time, for household use and of a sports type.
  • the present invention provides several relevant advantages. The main advantage lies in allowing an adjustment of the footwear such as to easily adapt to different foot fits, without requiring the making of shoes to measure.
  • a further advantage relates to the fact that the adjustment provided by the device according to the present invention may easily be utilized in any type of footwear, therefore enabling anyhow to keep footwear manufacturing costs reasonable.

  • Said spacer 90 basically reproduces the shape of the sole of the foot, with the exception of two peripheral longitudinal sections, so as to define, at the sections internal 13 and external 14 to the foot, and, referring to figure 13, the seats 170 in the assembly formed by top layer 5, bottom layer 6 and spacer 90.
  • the seats 170 then continue into a further pair of seats 171, illustrated in figure 12, developing in the form of a groove onto the top face of the element 90 to a recess 160.
  • Said seats 170 and 171 slidably receive a pulling element, in this instance denoted by 180, in the form of a flexible elongate element, onto which element 180 there are slidably inserted annular or tubular support elements 80.
  • the pulling element 180 is fixed to the insole 200, and more precisely to a spacer 90, at a front end thereof.
  • the longitudinal ends of the element 180 are blocked within a block 40 slidably received in a longitudinal recess 160 of the spacer 90.
  • Such a blocking is attained by inserting said ends in holes of the block and fastening them in position by threaded pins 41, according to conventional modes.
  • the block 40 is operable by a screw 190 blocked at the end of its shank within the block itself and slidable within a threaded seat 161 extending between the recess 160 and the peripheral rear edge of the spacer 90.
  • the overall arrangement is such that the screw 190 is operable from the rear of the footwear 100, at the heel. It will be understood that by rotating the screw 190 the block 40, and therefore the pulling element 180 integral thereto, are longitudinally slid within the recess 160, i.e. with respect to the insole 200, determining the position of the pulling element 180, along with the elements 80, with respect to the seat 170, as illustrated in figure 14. In other words, following the longitudinal adjustment of the block 40 into the recess 160, the pulling element 180 is shifted, sliding into the seat 170, respectively inward or outward of the insole 200, thereby adjusting the lateral position of the seat 170 with respect to the latter.
  • such a feature allows an adjustment of the fit by providing a greater amount of vamp to the footwear so that, the vamp being by its own nature soft or anyhow flexible, the foot could adapt to the properties of shape of the shoe, according to the specific needs of the wearer.
  • the footwear provides also a conventional welt 45, fixed to the sole 4, allowing to mend the seat 170 and the pulling element 180.
  • the pulling element 180 may also be not associated to support elements 80 coupled thereto.
  • the support elements have the sole function of fostering the sliding of the vamp 3 during the adjustment of the fit by the motion of the pulling element, preventing the wear of the vamp 3 itself.
  • the support elements 80 may alternatively be replaced by a single sheath of plastics material, not illustrated in the figure, apt to limit friction during said motion.
